Elephant

I don’t dislike The White Stripes, but as someone who was a teenager in the early 2000s they just feel very “of their time” and not in a good way? It’s hard to describe. “Seven Nation Army” and “The Hardest Button To Button” are all time bangers, and “Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine” was an unexpected surprise, but the rest were just alright. Not bad but largely sounded the same. “It’s True That We Love One Another” was so unnecessary, though, and totally killed the vibe I was riding after the far superior previous song. Should The White Stripes have an album on this list? Probably. But all in all it’s just okay.

I actually really like The White Stripes. Before embarking on this list I would have thought this was an easy 5. I went in for the relisten expecting to find it wall-to-wall excellent. Maybe my tastes have changed? I don't know. Elephant is their best work for sure - bombastic, confident, and full of excellent licks. Meg's outstanding performance on drums remains iconic (with THAT mixing!), Jack White is one of the few guitarists allowed in the Bass hall of fame, and the smattering of popular singles continue to be amongst the best of alt-rock of any era. But the album itself is also half-stuffed with somewhat frustratingly mediocre filler. The country-leaning bits just never really fit, either cohesively or sonically. If the album was cut, or at least if the inbetweens had half of the punkish character of a Seven Nation Army or a Hardest Button to Button it would be an easy 5. But alas, Jack White's biggest albatross around his neck continues to be his inconsistent sound. Still an excellent album though, a high 4. Fav tracks: Seven Nation Army, The Hardest Button To Button, There's No Home For You Here, Little Acorn, Girl You Have No Faith In Me

I Just really hate little acorns

Hårdtslående garagerock fra øverste hylde. Albummet starter med “Seven Nations Army”, som er en af rockhistoriens mest kendte sange, med et af de mest ikoniske rifs nogensinde og indeholder også hittet “The Hardest Button To Botton” og den skramlende blues rock-sang “Ball and Biscuit”. Er man glad for garagerock og har interesse for rockens mange facetter er dette album uundgåeligt.

stop wasting my time

Cooool

I really dislike Jack White's voice when singing, but the album is well put together musically. There are some interesting compositions on this album. Lyrically also the album just isn't very strong in my opinion. A mixed bag, so a mixed rating for this one. 3/5

primer tema es un temon, despues baja bastante, no m egustaron los tranquilos. me gusta mucho el bajo igual.

9/10 Yep, awesome. Solid rock done good. Stripped back, there is nowhere to hide. The songs rock hard, and that is a good thing.

Oh man. So good. This project is easy when you pull albums like this. It's one that I'll revisit every so often and have been for 20+ years. Pretty cool that I went to Third Man Records last week. They're sold out of this on vinyl or else I would've gone home with a copy of it from there.

I really liked most of this album, especially the first two tracks. There's an excellent blistering guitar and solid rhythm section. The only downside was that I thought that some of the lyrics, which I assume were supposed to sound badass, instead were kind of goofy, like I wanted to pat him on the head like "yeah you're a big badass guy, aren't you!" But I have other records with goofy lyrics, so that's ok. 4

Man, what an album, from a certain time in my life. Seven Nation Army has been abused by sports, but that solo still gets me. Ball & Biscuit, all of it - just so damn good.

Pretty adventurous but consistent. The wild instrumentals fit very cleanly. Highlights: "Seven Nation Army", "There's No Home For You Here", "You've Got Her In Your Pocket"

oH mY GoD iT's tHe WhItE sTrIpEs!!!!!

Pretty enjoyable album overall. Don’t really have a crazy amount to say about it but definitely had a good time listening to it.

Honestly, this was a really solid album. Everyone knows seven nation army and the hardest button to button, but the other songs here are solid and I wouldn't call any of them bad. They also had decent variation in sound and style in this album while maintaining a coherent sound, so kuddos to that.

The White Stripes have always had a lot of talent in their songwriting, and each song from this album illustrates their ability to create a lot of simple, yet broadly enjoyable songs. However, this album also showcases the lack of complexity in their music, as every song is predicated on the most basic rhythms and hooks, and only the guitar ever steps out into anything remotely sophisticated. This shortcoming aside, there's a lot of well-executed genre blending and variety in the album, and each song is at least of undeniable quality. Ball and Biscuit was a notable track, featuring some technical blues guitar licks and a slightly sophisticated beat, with enough length to develop the elements of the song that made it interesting.

Did any other album in the 00’s rock this hard? Maybe their best. I kinda want to relisten to them all right to find out!

Thin repetitive. Only cut I'd buy is the first

un album avec certains bon titres mais pas du tout cohérent

Emo rokkia.

Strong songwriting and a really bold, confident aesthetic. 5

This is the one White Stripes album I think I can give as high as a 3.5 on, as it feels their most substantial, not just because of "Seven Nation Army," but mostly because it is their heaviest and riffiest, which I think just ends up being their best material. There are still some songs on it I don't like, and I still don't generally like their gimmick or general sound, but I'm will to give this one 4 stars on this scale due to what I think was the zenith of The White Stripes's approach.

6.5/10 - I think it’s easy for Garage Rock to fall prey to the same pitfalls that thrash metal does in terms of album pacing. It’s all go, go, go but the brain starts to check out a bit after a while.

I like garage rock but only in moderation. There are some amazing songs on here but by the end I'm kind of over it as it starts to sound samesy. Light 7/10

This is an album that not only contributed to the revival of the garage rock genre in the early 2000s, but also popularised blues rock around this time as well, all thanks to the modern guitar hero Jack White, who manages to blend these two genres together to create some of the most unique and recognisable riffs of the 21st century, while standing on the shoulders of giants such as jimmy page, jimi hendrix and brian may. and you can't dismiss meg whites simple yet highly effective percussive style that manages to carry 50% of the whole band throughout their entire catalogue. It is no wonder that she was not a fan of having the spotlight on her.

album so good the first song was used for the best videogame trailer ever anyways not much need to be said. It is golden. Listen to it. Some parts were a little slow but not unwelcomed. 5

nobody who's ever known what the hell they're talking about has ever called meg white a bad drummer. these drums are the beating fucking heart of this album. jack white's songwriting has carried him past the breakup of the white stripes but this is still the peak.

Tiene 2 temas muy reconocibles y muchos que no los reconocí. Es de un género musical que no escucho pero si me gustó el álbum entero.

Stripped back hook heavy anthemic

7 Nation Army sets an expectation that cannot be met elsewhere, except for flashes here and there. I like the lazy 12 bar blues of Ball and Biscuit. The stripped back production is effective.

Given its reputation I was expecting more from Elephant. The singles are very effective - rough and bolshy garage rock with broad appeal. The Hardest Button to Button has a simple but gnarly hook at the centre of it which is perfectly exploited. However the basic, stripped back songwriting does not translate as well to the folkier numbers. I am a huge fan of folk rock, and even whimsical twee folk, but I did not find much enjoyment in any of these cuter songs. When they then switched back to the simple and bold rock songs it began to sound a bit one note. A songwriting approach this straightforward would probably lend itself better to a half hour LP.

Elephant gets a high 3 from me, the first 3 tracks and Hardest Button hit hard and this is how i like the band. The folksier numbers and the goofy bits are not for me in this context and that’s about half the runtime here.

Good cold cold night is a highlight

I can't decide if I love or hate this album. Bangers and duds

I listened to it while working out, but it really goes down in energy after the first track. Of course it's a classic thought, and Seven Nation Army by itself would probably get 4 stars. If there were a few more tracks like that, it would have been an easy 5/5

It was good

I’ve always loved The White Stripes. I know, own, and like the songs Seven Nation Army, In the Cold, Cold Night, It’s True The We Love One Another, and their cover of I Just Don’t Know What to do With Myself. I also knew the song The Hardest Button to Button.

Sparse. And very hit and miss.

Hard hitting indie rock from a married duo pretending to be siblings. So many contradictions, but the sound they came up is fantastic. It worked then and it still rocks. Seven Nation Army Ball And Biscuit The Hardest Button To Button The Air Near My Fingers Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine

A great album that shows a mix of electric and acoustic styles for a great record overall. Seven Nation Army is obviously one of the greatest iconic album openers ever made, but the rest of the album is in no way outshone by it. A very solid album and one I’d definitely come back to.

4.5

Might be my favorite White Stripes album. Just fun bops throughout the entire thing. Starts off incredibly strong with Seven Nation Army and keeps up the energy from there.

This album is pretty good in my book. It starts off with the electrifying listen of Seven Nation Army, and after that, mellows out, bringing a sense of calmness and emotion to the project. My favorite song is "You've Got Her in Your Pocket."

Simple beats, yet a banger

some bangers in this one

So good and found a new favorite song.

No skipped songs, all of it was great!

Best of Album: - Seven Nation Army - The Hardest Button to Button

Easy five stars - the single most original work of its time with its mix of almost swampy blues and that garage rock. He was just a master of his craft and right in the zone with these songs and also with the follow up album get behind me satan. I actually love that at his heart Jack is a storyteller with his songs and it’s his wordplay as much as hos shredding that brings me back. Check out his solo stuff too, especially lazaretto.

Another one that’s unfortunately just okay!

I recently bought a guitar and one of the first riffs I learnt was Seven Nation Army, of course! Very enjoyable racket!

Sooo taff jeder song fühlt sich creative an. Es ist einfach Bluesrock Weiterentwickelt

Haven’t listened to this in ages and it’s a great album. Such a sure footed sophomore effort. Really love the cover of “I just don’t know what to do with myself” and other deeper cuts like “ball and a biscuit” are so good.

Hardest button, seven nation army = great Hypnotize reminds me of the Violent Femmes 3.5 rating

Me parece más un simple "one hit wonder" que un album realmente sobresaliente. Sobrevalorado para mi.

This is an interesting album, you can hear the punk rock heritage and multiple different influences in Jack’s vocals and the music. Some harder Beatles tracks come to mind in addition to Dead Kennedies. Interesting amalgamation. And them the indie rock sound which became dominant after this

Вони круті)

"Seven Nation Army" is, of course, a banger. The rest of this was largely meandering and uninteresting.

Obviously had one of the most iconic songs of the past 20 years and that song is great. I liked the album, it just wasn't a whole album to me.

Probably The White Stripes's best album

Enjoyed this a lot when it was released.

Classic album that just hits the beat

Nice album, isn't it?

Somewhat above-average blues rock enlivened by Jack White's oddball personality.

Some lovely garage blues rock here, and on paper I should love this album, but for some reason it just falls short of a 5 for me. Ball and Biscuit is absolutely brilliant, and I love the organ on The Air Near My Fingers. However, there are two or three tracks which are just okay, and a couple I actively dislike (In The Cold, Cold Night & the final track).

I really like this and it rocks hard. I saw them the year this came out, at Coachella. But I never listened to this record before. Some of these they played, so I remembered them from the show. It stops short of 5 stars for me just bc it doesn't particularly move me, but I like it. The live experience was great. They definitely made a joyous noise unto the heavens. Truly a shame that Meg did not come to the HoF induction, would have been great to see them play again.

I like this more every time I listen

This should be right in my wheel house…but… …beyond 7NA I just can’t warm to this album at all 😕

A classic. Ugh

Jack White could never do anything again musically and Seven Nation Army would be a legacy better than most. This is the fourth album from the Stripes and there is a reason people who are fans would argue that this is their best. So many great songs on here. Ball and Biscuit is just a crushing blues jam. Meg gets the vocals on In The Cold, Cold Night and provides a mood change. Hardest Button to Button is another masterpiece. Be like the squirrel girl, be like the squirrel.

Heard Many Times; 3.5; I really enjoy this album, and after listening to an earlier White Stripes album earlier in this project, I can certainly see that this is their better effort. The songs just sound more filled out, have catchier hooks throughout. The fat, crunchy guitar sound is distinctive, and I feel like it's mixed much better with other instrumentation on this album. Hard to not stomp when you hear a lot of these riffs. Favorite Track: The Hardest Button to Button

It's a consistently strong album with a number of highlights. Lacks replay ability though.

I like this album, I liked it 20 years ago. Some banging tunes and good memories. Not going to get full marks though, I must be hard to please.

A hell of a thing. Everyone knows 7 Nation Army, but it was the intro to the next track, Black Math, that grabbed me by the throat. Solid, back to basics, rock and roll that's good for the ears and the soul.

Great album.

banger this is the kind of album you expect to listen to in this project not cupid & psyche 85

Enjoyed! Would listen again. Catchy. Last song was odd and seemed out of place on album.

Really really good album. I never loved their sound but you can’t help but admit that it’s a vibe here. Ball and Biscuit is an amazing song

A classic that holds up

I loved it so so so much, almost perfect. Lots of experimentation and diversity with sound, and i loved the vocals!

Sparker fortsatt bra fra.

A few tracks from the start were quite cacthy! But didn’t catch much of my attention towards the end of the album. Moderate I would say…

7 nation army is iconic

Best White Stripes album for sure, nothing bur bangers, Jack White writes great riffs and Meg is really what separates The White Stripes from most modern blues rock

Whenever I just don't know what to do with myself, I know this album will be there for me. Even in the cold cold night, I know this album will be there for me. Isn't it comforting knowing you've got her in your pocket?Jolly good.

Solid mid 2000s rock

pretty bad, only one or two standout songs, the rest were very similar or bad

Incredible start with seven nation army , but the rest of it don’t get me as amped up as I thought it would. To me the other songs didn’t work as well as the first, still a good album

Seven nation army - 5 Black math - 5 There's no home for you here - 4 I just don't know what to do with myself - 4 In the cold, cold night - 4 I want to be the boy to warm your mother's heart - 5 You've got her in your pocket - 4 Ball and biscuit - 4 The hardest button to button - 5 Little acorns - 4 Hypnotize - 4 The air near my fingers - 4 Girl, you have no faith in medicine - 4 It's true that we love one another - 4

POW!! Well it’s true that we love one another I love Jack White like a little brother Well Holly I love you too But there’s just so much that I don’t know about you 🥰

Great opening track, after that not really my thing.

Je trouve ça plutôt mid

Not terrible by any means, but quite uninspiring to me at this point.

Really good songs medium energy will re listen

3.5

Such great drumming

I've liked the Album so far!!! The slow songs are low key my favorites.

Good album but I think White Blood Cells is better

Aside from a classic or two, just kind of … noisy throughout.

Decent rock album

White Stripes are not my thing. I don’t really care for Jack’s voice but he sure knows how to shred. Meg gets ripped for her drumming but it is exactly what this album needs. Surprised there were a few songs I really liked on here.

I like their raw energy. Love Ball and Biscuit.

Got some bangers

Seven Nation Army is an insane opener. The rest of this album is a massive step down from that.

branding is good, great alt album, very garage rock with tons of ‘60’s ‘70’s and grunge influence. rock has reached a melting pot at this point of all its predecessors. has intensity yet also sensitivity

No me ha disgustado pero hay canciones terribles. La final está curiosa

Took several listens to appreciate. Very mid album

Sekava ja huono, kuulostaa niinkun soittimilla olis vaan soitettu ja laulettu päällekkäin mitä sattuu

Seven Nation Army is alright. And some of the blues-rock tunes sound great from an instrumental standpoint. But there's always been something about Jack White's singing that doesn't work for me. The tunes get annoying after a while.

Couple fun tracks in here but this sound wears thin fast. It just seems insubstantial.

Alto disco, arranca con un patrimonio de la humanidad y después de eso es dificil mantener la vara pero tienen buenos temas, la batería tiene buena pegada y la guitarra está toda cricosa. Además tiene the hardest button to button que tiene alto video y es el tema que sale en los simpsons cuando Bart aprende a tocar la bata. Sape

Yeah thats a 5

muy sin más

I really liked this. Two exceptional musicians with a very clear, interesting sound, putting out music that is thoughtful and engaging. The fact that one of the songs became a sports anthem is kind of funny in retrospect as I'm sure that was not the goal.

- okay been wanting to listen to them after i recently found out that their drummer is a woman (awesome + feminism) - band kid vibes - i hear instruments and i hear vocals but i dont hear MUSIC - don’t think i’ll be revisiting this one - seven nation army will still get me lit tho

Battlefield 1 ahh first song but so good. Rest of album is okay i particularly like cold cold night and you've got her in your pocket.

I dunno what they drank between 2003 and 2005, but I liked this a whole hell of a lot more than Get Behind Me Satan! This was some really great bluesy garage revival, probably one of the best examples of that sound I've heard.

Some tracks I could do without, but overall excellent album. I know that Seven Nation Army is now ubiquitous due to sporting events, but it’s an awesome opener. Ball and Biscuit is one of my all time faves. The Air Near My Fingers is EXTREMELY underrated. In retrospect, it’s interesting how Seven Nation Army is nearly forgotten by the end of the 50 minutes as the rest of the album endears itself to you. Very good experience.

Gave this a few listens to really make up my mind, and although in the moment I'm consistently rocking out and having a good time, by the end I feel like it fails to make a huge impression on me overall. I really want to like it and am tempted by the 4-star, but it's not quite there yet! Standouts: Seven Nation Army • Black Math • There's No Home For You Here • Ball And Biscuit • In The Cold, Cold Night

This album is an absolute tour de force in the first three quarters and a sadly I felt like it lost its luster in the final quarter so I had to put it down to a 4. I just want to say this album has some of the best pacing I have ever experienced.

A seven nation army couldn't hold my sack They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right inside my crack

Had higher hopes

I said my dick is small And my balls are too small too They said my penis could not get hard at all Unless I looked at a man Ps. Never realised Meg White actually IS shit at drumming

I sure hope none of my loving friends has written a vile review of this album!

hay unas canciones bueeenas y otras medio monótonas, pero es un álbum con vibes de soundtrack de una peli en los 90s

Весь альбом можна підсумувати піснею "ball and biscuit": нудні куплети перемішанні із єбєйшими соло. Від роботи Джека Вайта якось очікував більшого. З поміж інших пісень тільки хітовий "seven nation army" виділяється своїм заїдаючим рифом, і "in the cold, cold, night" з вокалами від Мег Вайт, які слугують класную перебивочкою на альбомі. Оцінка: середня-висока 5

Ehhh

Et album som betyder mere for mig en 5 stjerner kan tydeliggøre. Det er lyden af venskaber, oplevelser for livet.

Fuck hvor jeg elsker det album. Fantastisk garagerocket blues.

Seven Nation Army was great but the rest of the album didn't grab me.

It's fine. 7 nation army carries. I can see why people like it though.3

Honestly, I don't think this album was right for me. I did mildly enjoy Seven Nation Army. I just don't know what to do with myself, and you've got her in your pocket. But overall, it felt like nothing new production-wise on an album. Not a bad album by any means, but I don't see myself relistening to this anytime soon.

Weer 5 sterren, was erg verrast door dit album. Ik dacht eerst dat het wat heftig zou zijn maar vond het echt geweldig, flinke rock maar met zoveel emotionele lading.

Fave: Black math

Niet mijn go to genre maar wel leuk

Garagerock från tidigt 2000-tal. Det låter nästan "klassiskt/retro" idag även om det inte känns så längesedan. Låter högstadiet. Bra.

May be controversial but mid album. Every song feels like it's missing something to really elevate it. "It's true that we love one another" is quite good and I like this style of song. 2/5 album for me.

What do you say when you have nothing to say? Considering this is an optional field, I can technically say nothing and allow my brain to fall further into the rotten stagnation that I am presently encumbered with. Can one become enCucumbered? To perhaps possess a cucumber that is of no use to you. The thought of wasting it creates a surprisingly heavy dread, and the use of said cucumber feels impossible considering taste and present ambitions. What is a casual online music reviewer to do? Lie, and call himself a music reviewer? Do I ever have any answers to my rhetorical questions? Well these shall remain no different. Put down that cucumber, you jackass, and listen to this White Stripes record. The hits on Elephant are as leathery and tough as the titular pachyderm and are often sweet, even more often heavy, or a mixture of both (The Hardest Button to Button, Hypnotize, In The Cold, Cold Night). The few misses on the record are still pretty likeable. Elephant is just a really fun modern rock record chock full of creativity, that doesn't skimp on the you know, rock part. 3.5 GENRE: Circus animal’s revenge.

За севен нейшн арми лайк. Остальное ну норм, 7/10

Doesn't matter what the contrarians think, this album was an instant classic for a reason and holds up over time (and I was one of those contrarians when this album came out).

Best Stripes album. Listening to it is like putting on a comfortable old hoodie that smells like home. I can’t possibly count how many times I’ve listened to this album over the years but every time I do I am reminded of how brilliant it is.

Hard to imagine someone starting this album without the prior knowledge of the absolute juggernaut of a song that is Seven Nation Army. Did anyone on this site hear it for the first time pulling this album? Is such a thing possible? Did Jack White write the riff knowing it would become the de facto sport chant? Is there an as yet undiscovered riff as simple as this one that could hit quite as well? All this to say - what an incredible song - but I’ve heard it enough for 10 lifetimes. Anyway I’m plenty familiar with this album. It’s stacked front to back with some light and much heavy, plodding along with the pure metronome of Meg Whites hypnotically simple drumming that largely serves to accentuate the ferocious guitar work, but hits in just the right way nonetheless on its own when it ought to. Couldn’t possibly give this anything but a 5. Fav tracks I just don’t know what to do Hardest Button Hypnotise Ball and Biscuit Medicine Little Acorns … Seven Nation Army

Hell yea Seven nation army is obviously up there for one of the best songs ever but there a loads of bangers on here I’d not heard before like Black Math 4

No está mal

Quite unique.

3,5/4

É assim que eu imagino a fase rock da charlixcx. Só que menos pai.

I was late to this album. Probably heard it a full decade after it came out for the first time. Loved it on the first listen. Haven’t heard it in quite awhile. Almost 25 years after its initial release, and honestly, it still rocks and I still love it. It’s easy to love for me, obviously. So that’s a 5. Boolean: yes, definitely glad I heard it once and was reminded to hear it again.

music that you hear in movie/50yr olds car

I liked the first half more but overall pretty good

Yes! So good!

I mean, i’m sure it’s not a flawless record, but this played a pivotal part of shaping my music taste, so I’m gonna be biased period. That said, the bangers are bangin, the riffs are riffin. Can’t complain at all. Ball and a Biscuit is an all time best song.

Album 189. Elephant (https://open.spotify.com/album/0rRNLpdA8nA8Sm8Fk490b9?si=8vo4b4sPQV21PgCl5njNUA) — The White Stripes (2003) aaaghh, not much better than their previous two albums. Seven Nation Army can't save the whole album. 3/5 Liked: — Seven Nation Army

Automatic classic! Seven nation army is an anthem!

This one was hard for me to get through. The first song on the album is so good, but nothing stands out after that. Jack whites voice isn’t strong enough for me for this duo.

Fun, grungy. Should be listened to on bigger speakers fo sho

fuera del primer tema todo muy mid 2/5

No

We can’t really judge The White Stripes by how they are now, and have to deal with the record as it is. For that is a great rock album, solid rock ability vibes, amazing guitars, drums just meh, singing only okay. Seven nation army obviously kicks things to a high gear right at the start, but it’s hard to regain those heights. Ultimately good but not standout.

The largest land animal in the world.

3,4 Highlights: Seven Nation Army; In the Cold, Cold Night

Arrancamos la primera semana de mayo con éste discazo de una de las bandas de mi adolescencia. Imposible no recordar los videos de Seven Nation Army y The Hardest Button To Button en MTv y su hipnotismo, así cimo lo cools, lo geniales que se veían Meg y Jack con toda su estética y esa idea que teníamos todos de que eran hermanos. Fue el disco por el que los conocí y mucho tiempo después escuché completo. Quizás la escucha fragmentaria comenzó en ése momento. Quizás, también, lo difícil de conseguir un CD en esos momentos por su precio y porque seguramente era importado (otro motivo más para envidiar a las grandes ciudades). Sin duda esta banda es un ejemplo de que no hace falta complejidad o virtuosismo para hacer rock. Sólo actitud. Hasta mañana.

Outstanding

4.5. I am a big fan of this album. It's rare for me to find enjoyment in some of the more rock focused stuff, but this album really stood out to me. 7 Nation Army is a classic hit, but on top of that, There's No Home For You Here, The Hardest Button to Button, and even It's True That We Love One Another all resonated with me very well. All over the place in a great way, and I think that the acoustic tracks break everything up nicely. Jack's voice pairs very well with the instruments all throughout the album, and the lyrics were clever enough to keep this music in the foreground of my thoughts during this first listen. I'll be back

First half a little too loud for me but the second half was great

Really great rock album. Weird, heavy, and just unique. Had obviously heard seven nation army, but not much else off the record. Has that element of a great record, where the sound is consistent throughout but doesn’t get repetitive. Very impressed. 4/5.

It's a nice 2000s rock album, not quite my style of rock, but still a enjoyable listen, though nothing really stick to me.

i didn't expect to like it so much highlights: 'there's no home for you here', 'ball and biscuit' and 'in the cold, cold night'

7/10

personally i probably prefer their first two releases but we owe them a small debt of gratitude for adding an actually good stadium anthem to the culture 4/5

Containing one of the most iconic rock songs of all time, let alone the oughts, this record is often hailed as The Stripes' best album and it's easy to see why. Of course you have their expected brand of minimalist garage rock revival with inventive guitar playing thanks to the wizard Jack White, but in addition to the snappy and surprisingly powerful rock music you also have some more tender moments that reveal a mode 3 Dimensional angle to the songwriting you may not have expected. Meg and Jack were in the middle of their divorce during this time, and it's made immediately obvious. Right down to the imagery on the album cover, the lonely sounding "In the Cold Night" (performed by Meg White), and the various songs deeper in the cut that explore themes of restless feelings, failed expectations, and various other frustrations you could ascribe to a strained relationship. The variety in the track list actually works quite well in favor of the album, avoiding repetition and giving a lot of breathing room for some of the heavier songs to really sink in. "Ball And Biscuit" is a 7 minute long blues rock jam, but you don't feel the length and Jack uses this track's runtime to his advantage, to rock out and give one of his signature guitar solos full of wankery and unorthodox style. "Hardest Button" is probably the most straightforward song compositionally, but it's steady stomping rhythm paired with the bizarre lyrics and power chords make this one instantly sticky and remains a fan favorite for many, myself included. The end of the record is also rather solid, with the manic "You have no faith in medicine" and the super tongue-in-cheek "It's true we love each other" featuring Meg, Jack and Holly Golightly on vocals. This song is rather awkward in it's own cute way, but offers a rather lighthearted conclusion to a complicated relationship between Jack and Meg, and rather than the spiteful and spurned feelings of say; Fleetwood Mac's Rmours, you get a cathartic and multi-angled rock album with lots of food for thought and some of the most iconic rock songs of all time. I recommend!

It's hard to overstate how big this album was back in it's day. I liked but didn't love the White Stripes, but over time, nostalgia has snuck into the space between the notes and this album hit yard when I listened to it today.

Where should I start? It was quite a privilege to be almost 20 and in full control of my listening habits when the whole garage revivial was on. Mostly radio friendly content like Vines, Hives and Strokes. But never in my wildest dreams could I imagine that the White Stripes would follow up White Blood Cells with album that would start with a song that would be a stadium anthem at the height of Queen songs. There’s really no one else that can sound so powerful with only 2 people playing. Meg’s drumming fills so much space and Jack’s riffs are as memorable and catchy as his lyrics. No weak links, hard to even make out influences other than broad genres. Love this album, can’t even pick a favorite from it. Some days it’s Black Math, others Ball and Biscuit, others Cold Cold Night. I’ll stick with Hardest Button to Button, in an alternate reality that would be the stadium anthem, it’s that good.

Jack White is a phenomenal song writer and will probably rest in the upper tiers in the history of rock once he's run his race. This album has everything, songwriting, production, innovation, pop hits, grunt, grime and melody. All with something that on the surface is really simplistic pop. Remarkable. There is a reason it has endured and outlasted it's peers from the time in credibility and recognition .

Very good record. A 3,5

Can’t really give any album with Seven Nation Army less than this, honestly.

Look, I like Seven Nation Army as much as the next guy. And if all this album was was a bunch of thumping rockers it would fine. But this album takes a bunch of wacky swings and has a secret weapon hidden up its sleeve . That secret weapon is a continuous battery of clever, funny, and, dare I say, insightful lyrical gymnastics that sets the album apart. Grimy and smart, and most importantly of all, fun.

I struggle with popular bands from my own generation. Bands like the White Stripes, Kings of Leon, Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys, Green Day (early works aside) are all in this bucket. I think these are “good” bands, but I can never quite love them (as I type this, I realise the White Stripes are probably a cut above the aforementioned artists). I think this has to do with how we’d consume music. You used to purchase a CD, for the equivalent of $125 in 2026 dollars, then you’d go away and listen to it. Listen to it a lot, in fact, otherwise you were a sucker who wasted their money. Then if you actually liked it, you’d play it at parties and burn copies for your mates and try and get them to love it as much as you did. And if you were lucky, your friends would do the same to you. This is the way I have discovered my favourite artists of all time and cemented favourite friendships of all time. The other way of consuming music was listening to the radio. This is where the big bands come into my life. People played them at parties, but without the “hey, you gotta check out these guys!” speeches. It felt less intimate, more transient. And once exposed to something via this channel, retreating with the headphones to digest the album just never happened. I guess this is why the before-your-time classics are immune from this general feeling of unease - there was still the element of the hunt. Anyway, I like this album. I think it’s good.

Know the white stripes. Own elephant. I love this album. Minimalism but maximalist. Amazing sound. Well written songs. They had the formula with white blood cells, but they perfected it on Elephant. Absolutely belongs on the list.

It makes sense how Seven Nation Army is the only thing that survived this album, but I don't think it merits being on this list. The White Stripes had a sound that I think people looking for a specific feeling would enjoy. 2.5 rounded up to a 3.

Two great 2000s albums in a row? What happened to the 1001 I know? Seven Nation Army just might have one of the best riffs of all time, and its pretty hard not to get emotional thinking about all the times baby Spencer would get hyped when they’d play it during a tight 4th quarter at a football game. There’s quite a few other damn solid songs on this one; I thought Ball and Biscuit was pretty cool. There’s some nice variety on here, really not a whole lot of repetitive music. Jack White’s vocals aren’t particularly special but they work just fine for what’s being done here I do think a couple songs just kinda drag unfortunately, I didn’t care for Little Acorns and really most of the end section of the album didn’t leave a huge impression on me. Still though, definitely not bad music, just think the lead single kinda steals the show Pretty sure this is my first time listening to White Stripes other than Seven Nation Army and Fell in Love with a Girl, so pretty surprised that they have that much range. Pretty easy 9/10 album for me, but think I’ll round down this time

Very classic album; Seven Nation Army is only one of the most well known songs of all time. White Stripes is really a fascinating little group. Because there's only two people playing, the songs are simple, but that lets the riffs and vocals shine. Lot of really iconic tracks. I think there's this very genuine edge to the music that makes it compelling.

Garage band rock, taken to the nth degree. This is the 4th studio album by the former Mr and Mrs White (why they started or continued the ruse of being brother and sister is beyond my comprehension). This is also the first White Stripes album I ever heard, and it knocked me out. If this were an LP, is have been able to say I played the grooves right off it. For starters, the damn Opening Track is Seven Nation Army. If you watch sports, this song is ubiquitous. It's literally everywhere. World Cup. College Football. MLB. NHL. I actually wonder if Jack White hears it at stadiums and thinks, "Hell yeah. I WROTE THAT!" Saw him live in concert, and Seven Nation Army was incredible. The song I first fell in love with was Ball And Biscuit, absolute banger. Big loud sound, evocative of a Gibson Les Paul blasting through a Marshall stack. No matter how old I get, I'll always crank this one. So many good songs, hard to believe I'm on the fence between 4 and 5. But based on the number of times this got played in the CD player in my old Suburban, it's a 5.

I used to really like this album a few years ago. But now, listening to it again, I realized this album is more of a collection of songs that I would normally skip to get to the good stuff. A true 5 star album is something I would want to listen to all the way and not want to just skip the boring songs to get to the absolute bangers. Anyway, a good collection of song that are easily recognized, but that's about it for me.

Weirdly, I don’t feel like I have that much to say about this album. I figured since it was their bigger, more famous, more acclaimed album that I’d have more, but… no, it really is just an album that speaks for itself musically. Obviously, “Seven Nation Army” casts a big shadow on the rest of the album, setting a weird expectation that each track should be trying to chase that high, but that’s not what this album is trying to do at all, and as an album experience, it’s a set of tracks that works really nicely together. I do wish some tracks actually transitioned into others, to give a sense of connectivity that generally feels missing on the album, but overall, it’s an album you can enjoy off of the vibes & energy alone. As a whole, I really enjoyed this, for my tastes. I do, however, wish the range of instrumentation was present on their other albums were on here as well. With no bad tracks, some very high highs & a super enjoyable energy, how can you really complain? It didn’t quite hit the extreme critical acclaim for my ears, but it’s a solid album regardless, and a worthy bump up to a 5.

so many songsss liked some, didnt like some much, loved some

6.5/10

I know the hits of course, but this was my first complete listen. The simplicity is its strength, and Jack’s voice sometimes is akin to Robert Plant’s early voice. Never noticed that before. Good album overall. 3.7/5.0

They do be knowing how to make a guitar scream.

Starting off with Seven Nation Army is probably the reason I enjoyed this album so much. Absolute banger.

I don’t care for this genre of music, so it falls flat for me.

this album is perfec!!!

This is a fucking great chunk of music, haven’t heard the whole album for a while, but what an absolute Banger - every track, I used to listen to this everyday for about a year😎

Some great tracks

'Seven Nation Army' by itself likely would've dragged this album into a high rating, but pleasantly the rest of it is a joy to listen to as well.

Deep and thunderous at times, whimsical and joyous at others

Track #11 (“Hypnotize”) is missing from the album on the Spotify app so I had to listen to that one separately. This is the album with the hit “Seven Nation Army”. “Ball and Biscuit” is a bluesy rock number that has a George Thorogood vibe. The last track, based on “Creeque Alley” also was pretty good.

This is the canonical White Stripes album, when they really blew up on the Rock Countdown scene. Hard to believe it was 23 years ago. Anyway, I kinda think 1 White Stripes album would suffice for this list, but what can you do. I do appreciate their consistent color aesthetic. Also, every Jack solo song sounds a little bit the same (prosodically speaking). Good quote from J. White: "Our idea was to see how far we could go with an eight track recorder, and I think how far we went is too far." Highlight: 'Little Acorns' (love an inspirational squirrel, and the pronunciation [eɪkɚn])

This is one of the cooler sounding albums there is. I love their sound. Seven Nation Army is a great song and one of the great pump up songs of all time. There isn't a bad song on this album.

More often than not, Jack comes across as a rascally old-school chauvinist. Along with his mannered vocal style and the ludicrous insistence that he and Meg were siblings, fans gobbled it up as part of the White Stripes' theatrical intrigue. This album was the occasion when the Detroit odd couple triumphed on their own irresistible terms. Righteous fury, melodramatic wit, hookline-and-sinker choruses – it was all here, in one excellent package. The intro track, Seven Nation Army, is a five-star classic, and the rest of the album is full of 3 and 4 star goodies.

At least this album gets "Seven Nation Army" out of the way right away. It gives the listener the time and space necessary to appreciate the rest of the album without waiting for the Big One to finally start playing. What follows that massive stadium hit is some absolutely excellent, modernized blues rock for the 21st century. Jack White, with his massive guitar crunch and pentatonic phrasing that remains stubbornly planted in the previous century, puts on a performance that solidifies his status as the last true guitar hero to date. Meg White's minimalist drumming compliments his over-the-top theatrics perfectly. I know a lot of people criticized her "simplistic and unskilled" drumming, but any drumming besides Meg's own barebones style would feel out of place on this. Musically, this album has one foot firmly in the blues rock side of the border, while the other is in the garage rock revival part of the country. And honestly? Elephant is where both of those revivalist movements peaked, because, in the context of the movement, Elephant is garage rock at its most ambitious and grandiose, and blues rock at its most innovative and forward-looking. On the other hand, there's a few piano-ballad type songs that do nothing for me, and the production, with its blown-out, loudness-war mixing, makes this a somewhat tiring album to listen to. I genuinely felt like I was at a 50-minute White Stripes concert after this, and not because it felt live - it was just so damn loud even playing at a reasonable volume. That doesn't take away the stellar musicality and songwriting on display throughout Elephant's runtime. There isn't a single weak link in this 14-song tracklist honesty. The best thing this album does is to forcefully pull all these old styles - delta blues, hill country blues, garage rock, even rockabilly - into the 21st century, almost as an eternal reminder of where rock and roll came from, and where it could go next without having to forget its roots. Key Tracks (besides that opener:) Black Math, There's No Home for You Here, Ball and Biscuit, Girl, You Have No Faith in Medicine

Jack white doing jack white things

Incredible album. Seven Nation Army might be one of the best songs ever written

GARAGE ROCKKKK LETS GOOOOOO

A fun rocking time, hits hard but has some good range at the same time

I do not care for the White Stripes.

I liked it much less than I expected

Banger! Great opener!

a masterpiece of music. Expect that stupid intro to the track "Little acrons"

Incredible Album.

5/5 prolly their best n my favorite besides white blood cells

rest of the album after the seven nation army song is kinda interesting

Jack White I'm in your walls.

5 de 5 Gran obra de garage rock, vistoso por sus arreglos de blues con un sonido crudo y visceral, donde Jack White muestra toda su virtuosidad y destreza con la guitarra, haciendo un disco moderno pero tan actual, consolidando a la banda como la mejor de su estilo y situándolos en la cúspide de el rock.

Probably White Stripes’ best. There’s already been two of their albums here. Hopefully, there won't be any more.

I do want to give this a higher rating because I liked so many of the songs in this album but the flops really flopped. Some of the songs in here are so forgettable and formulaic, and they added no value to the overall album.

I really thought I was going to like this with all Seven Nation Army and the masses of great reviews and basically no bad ones. Maybe I'm just missing something but disappointingly I really can't get behind it.

esse álbum é maneiro danilo me indicou

mid but iconic

Overall I enjoyed this. My picks: black math,there's no home for you here,I just dont know what to do with myself,in the cold,cold night,ball and biscuits,the air near my fingers.

El album no es para nada malo, pero le falta pasion, emocion, alegria, tristeza, mudez, arte, que digo, le falta algo, no sé.

Boiled down, raw, rock and roll excellence. Hell yes.

It was alright. I knew "Seven Nation Army" but that's about it. Not really my jam.

Хиты хитяры

simplesmente sem palavras, que album meus amigos, n tem uma ruim

What a great surprise this album was. The solo Jack White we had was just ok so I was expecting something similar. I was surprised at the range of music from garage rock to blues to acoustic. It kept me engaged and interested in what’s coming next. I’m also impressed it’s just the two of them making all those layers of music. Glad we had this album on the list, I probably wouldn’t have listened to it otherwise.

The White Stripes are at their best when they are playing that unapologetic rock and roll we hear on tracks like Seven Nation Army and Black Math. While their musical talents still show through on the slower tunes, those just don’t hit quite as well as the aggressive, in your face rock jams. This album had too few of the uptempo songs but was still a good listen.

Like tequila, wasabi or small children, The White Stripes are best enjoyed in small doses. This album features killer riffs on classic White Stripes jams: Ball and Biscuit and The Air Near My Fingers, but also many lesser tracks that lack focus and crave more cohesion. I love when one of these songs shows up in a mix or on the radio, but listening to Jack whallop through them here one after another while Meg tries to keep up becomes painful very quickly. Mr. White is a talented musician who writes imaginative lyrics, but like many other great ones, he’s too into his own thing and doesn’t trim down his indulgences all that well. So, while I certainly respect his work and love some of this music, it is best to treat it like your in-laws … only visit occasionally and don’t stay for too long.

Shame on me for not having listened to this album before now. Love this. I'm a fan of low tech garage rock, so I'm an easy target. What impressed me most were the slow, and sometimes quirky songs. Same energy as the big booming up tempo songs, but delivered with a delicate touch. I couldn't help but think of modern soul artists. One of the things that makes them successful is taking a familiar style and modernizing it, giving the music a contemporary sound while keeping the soul of the old masters. Amy Winehouse was masterclass at this. Similarly, Jack and Meg White take old 50s rockabilly and give it a big sonic modern feel. Like Amy, Jack and Meg are masterclass. This album is an amazing success.

I like this more than I expected to. I’d mostly written off the 2000s blues revival, but I think this rises above the rest as a pretty strong example. It’s still not completely to my tastes but I like it.

Ну тут хоть 7 nation army есть

2 for “seven nation army” only (and I don’t like it anymore anyway…)

I didn't mind it.

I thought this was a great album by The White Stripes! Had some very catchy tunes with alt-rock, punk, and blues vibes sprinkled in throughout. Overall, I really enjoyed my time listening to this album and I would listen to it again soon!

It’s good but despite the big hit they are capable of better in an album. Still great though.

I remember it was right before my 13th birthday when this album came out. I walked in on one of my beast friends kissing my crush while Seven Nation Army. It was the first time I had heard this song, first time they had kissed each other, and the first time I felt true soul crushing betrayal and heart break. The fist half of this album (other than Black Math) just doesn't have the wierdo rock n roll vibe I had grown to love about the White Stripes. I probably would have enjoyed Seven Nation Army before the sad association but after all these years it feels so played out. The second half does rip very hard and ultimately saves it from mediocrity. I feel like this is the last good music they made aside from a couple singles later on (Blue Orchid, and Rag and Bone)

Okay.

oh yes

Garage blues rock

Mon a priori : ça va être surcote. Je preshot le 3 En fait non c’est plutôt cool ! Mais j’aime pas le chanteur On dirait un proto maneskin In the cold, cold night est bien On a aussi des sons assez ringards, un peu rock à papa : ball and biscuit m On a envie de danser parfois quand même : the hardest Button to button Purée ils ont des bons rifs quand même : Little Acorns

Damn I forgot how much I liked this album. A lot of high school nostalgia. There's No Home For You Here fucks, I Don't What To Do With Myself, In The Cold Cold Night, damn. Only halfway through the album and I'm remembering all the non-singles on here which are so so good

The album's undeniable impact on the band is evident in the hits like "Seven Nation Army," which not only earned them two Grammy Awards but also became an anthem played in many football stadiums. Rolling Stone magazine included it on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Didn't expect some of the more folk inspired elements on this album to exist, but I think that's cool and I should've listened to this album earlier in life when my dad was playing some of their songs in his car.

Wow Jack white can carry an entire album, by himself. It’s amazing how cohesive the sound is but how unique every song is-never feels bogged down despite being two instruments the whole time. Underrated is how much work the drums do-Jack is so tight rhythmically on guitar and Meg has this lackadaisical out of the pocket feel that just brings enough tension to the mix that it’s wonderfully chaotic. Like each song is teetering on falling apart and yet carries the whole way through.

273/1089 starting strong with Seven Nation Army, i enjoyed this album a fair bit more than Get Behind Me Satan maybe their albums are the sort that i’d need a couple more listens before they properly click faves: Seven Nation Army, The Hardest Button To Button, There’s No Home For You Here 58/100

Love Jack, Love Meg, gett in

Disliked, couldn't listen to this, not my type at all

Seven Nation Army I think is my favourite song on that album but I really enjoy the riffs in this album and the creativity as well. But i do feel like this album isn't really what I like listening to because its just not the genre of music that I enjoy, but I do know that is a good album because of the other reviews and how they got a Grammy for this album but overall I rate this album as 2.

3/5

Curioso al menos, no entiendo si llega a ser un disco brasilero o de origen africano pero tiene un aire tropical y alegre que es agradable, no me desperto ninguna chispa de genialidad en mi pero para el que le guste el genero sera una buena obra

I love this album!! They really condense the songs down to such an elemental level. His guitar playing is unbelievable and his voice is the same. These songs are one of the strongest set of songs you'll hear!

Like the straightforward rock songs and the bluest guitar. There is this slower songs left me wanting. It’s a good album. 3/5 Might listen again

Preferred the harder rock songs. Liked Ball and Biscuit and Hardest Button best.

Actually quite good

Nice mix of blues, alt rock and garage with their biggest hit 7NA. Don't know if making album for a big label made the pair a tad grumpier but this is well worth a listen.

No

Fav: Black Math 2nd: There's no home for you here 3rd: in the cold night Did not listen

Listening to it thinking Seven Nation Army must be the song I’ve heard the most without ever deliberately putting it on (except maybe some Xmas songs)

seven nation army sampled “hoy cerramos boliche” or was it the other way around?. Pretty iconic by the way.

I don't understand why some critics talk about Elephant as it is the greatest thing since sliced bread, because I don't think time has been super kind to The White Stripes and their blending of Garage Rock and Blues Rock. I think Jack White and Meg White together know how to make some killer Rock tunes if they really put their mind to it like with Seven Nation Army, Apple Blossom, or Fell In Love With a Girl, but once again I find their albums to be very hit or miss for myself. Elephant is definitely the best project I have heard from the band so far, but even then I wouldn't call it a defining piece of 2000s music. The only standouts on this entire album for myself were Seven Nation Army, I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself, and I Want To Be the Boy To Warm Your Mother's Heart. I don't know what it is about The White Stripes but I am just not able to really connect with their sound despite enjoying all of their influences and their core genres when done right. It sucks because I grew up listening to The White Stripes, but it seems like the magic this group once had on me has now faded away into memory. Maybe you will like Elephant more than myself, but I honestly am starting to think The White Stripes are severely overrated in the grand scheme of things.

iconic songs

I like this album less than ACTUAL elephants, but more than most other albums.

garbage

Classique ? Pas mal

4.2/5 One I have listened to a few times before. I love the creativity of the riffs and the play of the musicality. And, ya know, Seven Nation Army is an all-timer.

I always thought of The White Stripes as a lesser version of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. That's not meant as a bad thing. I still think JSBX is a way cooler band but Jack White is kind of a better writer and an "old guard" of blues rock. I feel with this album they get further away from that comparison. They really expand their range and songwriting here.

An absolute masterpiece. Jack and Meg at their creative and performing peaks. Garage rock that is polished enough to create enduring crossover anthems that 25 years later are just getting more popular, but rough enough even the edge lords can’t complain. Elephant is the complete rock package and a perfect snapshot of 2003.

Honestly a pretty good album. I liked how it shifted from one vibe to another back and forth. Really added to the mania of the whole thing. Favorite track was not in fact Seven Nation Army, I really fuck with Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine.

This album is like...I don't know man this shit slaps. 4/5

Man patiko. Gera gitara, jo balsas malonus.

This is EXACTLY what rock should be! Is Meg the best drummer in the world - probably not. Is Jack the best singer in the world - probably not. Is Jack a fantastic guitarist - very definitely yes! But first and foremost, this is authentic, raw, dirty (in the best possible sense) rock. Love every bit of it.

I didn't have time to immerse myself completely. A couple songs were good but nothing extraordinary to me.

Admittedly, I prefer the album just before this one. But this is still pretty great. It sounds like a band that’s been on the road for two years straight. There’s something about the song structure, and the way songs just explode. It’s designed to be played at a massive outdoor festival or arena. And the first track is still sung at football games around the world, almost every day since it was released. Jack White was having a lot of fun here, living his rockstar dreams.

4/5

Kinda banging. Different vibes throughout. Almost timeless

Sólido disco Literalmente sólo conocía Seven Nation Army, pero el resto de temas no me decepcionó Destaco The Air Near My Fingers y Ball And Biscuit (por el riff más que nada) Suena profesional pero crudo, buenos riffs y muy buena voz Los dos temas más tranquilos me sorprendieron para bien, me esperaba un disco full power El último tema es bueno, pero me parece que no pega con el resto. En general, no es del todo mi estilo, pero es un buen disco

Rockier music isn't the usual style that I like to listen to, but this really caught me off guard. I had only ever heard 'Seven Nation Army' by The White Stripes before, and with it being the opening track of the album, I expected the rest of the album ot sound very similar to this. I was very quickly proven wrong. 'In The Cold, Cold Night' really shifts the direction of the album quite early on, leaving me wondering what the next song would sound like each time. I actually struggled to just pick three favourites for this, as I really enjoyed quite a few of them, so I am writing down five. Favourites (in order): The Air Near My Fingers In The Cold, Cold Night The Hardest Button to Button It's True That We Love One Another Ball and Biscuit

Fun, simple, stripped down rock. O like the Stripes.

This album is just brilliant, peak White Stripes. It is amazing what they could do with just a guitar and a drum kit (and a few gadgets).

didn’t expect it to be so good

I enjoyed most of this. It's taken a very long time for the White Stripes to grow on me, but the radio singles from this album don't grate on me like they used to. 3.25/5

I've always been a little cool with this album, despite liking White Stripes a lot. Revisiting it, I think it's a pretty great album with a few songs I like a little less (the run from Cold Cold Night -> You've Got Her in your Pocket). Still, I think I was a little overly harsh in my judgment. I still prefer other White Stripes albums over this, but this is great in its own right. 3.8/5

Made me zone out!!! In the best way possible Already new / heard : Seven nation Army Fav : in the cold cold night, You’ve got her in your pocket, hypnotize I think it was vary close to my usual likings and classics

Very good album. pretty close to 5 stars. fav song ball and biscuit probably. amazing rock

8/10

"I got Elephant on iTunes by dumpster diving in the recycling bin for Pepsi lids" - Me, talking to a visibly terrified grandchild some day

OK, voice is a bit grating

Solid rock album, great writing on this one. Even with only two members, it really feels like a whole ensemble. Great songs on this, standouts being Seven Nation Army and Black Math.

Fantastic album. Well written, great blues rock album

Es un buen album, ya lo habia escuchado unas cuantas veces pero nunca deja de sorprenderme, personalmente le pongo un 4

it was ok

lunes 6/04/26 - lluvia fan del primer tema since 98. me copa, creo que es un clásico buena musica que no falla pero no me voló la cabeza.

Me recuerda a la naranja mecanica You’ve got her in your pocket es la que mas me está sorprendiendo La ultima cancion m la ha bajado q flipas pero el album entero es increible

I forgot how much I like this album. Obviously opens with the big hit, but there's a lot of fun stuff.

Variation var ordet! Från garagepunk till typ Beatles. SNA 💜
